Sometimes an extra push of motivation mid-workout is just what it takes to own your set or send that treadmill crying instead of the other way around. Music may soothe the soul, but in your workout, we’re all about it moving your soul as well. After all- when it comes to the power of musical motivation and workouts, it’s science.
